Norton, the only first-year starter in Clemson's veteran offensive line, played all but one snap (78 total) at center in his first career start and was Clemson's highest graded offensive lineman at 91 percent with four knockdown blocks. He was a big reason Clemson gained 467 yards and scored 38 points on offense and controlled the clock for 9:08 of the fourth quarter. Norton was named Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week by the Atlantic Coast Conference for his performance in the Tigers' 38-35 win over Georgia.
